“Magic Flute” Crystal Wine Glass With Red Stem
Delight in the flavor of any wine sipped from these multi-color crystal glasses hand-crafted in Italy.
Each exquisite piece is hand-painted with intertwining plumes of red, yellow, blue, aqua and green, then fired to capture its true brilliance. The stem is a luscious ruby red.
Ideal for the dining table or bar, they add a touch of sophistication to both casual and elegant gatherings.
Each glass easures 8” high with a 3 ¼” diameter base and holds 11 fluid ounces.
The vibrant feather-like designs are reflective of Papageno’s colorful bird-catcher costume seen in the Met’s fanciful production of Mozart’s The Magic Flute.

History
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s The Magic Flute (Die Zauberflöte)
Mozart’s final opera (written before La Clemenza di Tito but first performed later) premiered in Vienna in September 1791, just weeks before the composer’s death, with Mozart conducting the orchestra from the fortepiano. A timeless fairy tale, it was a major success from the beginning and never lost its place as one of the most popular works in the repertoire. Julie Taymor’s beloved Met production opened in 2004. Its abridged English-language version, which returns in December 2013 as the company’s annual holiday presentation for families, inaugurated the Met’s Live in HD series of performance transmissions to movie theaters around the world in 2006.
